If you want to keep those wheels, dont put off-road tires on it. I really dont know where you are going...Lifted 2WD truck with 22'' wheels and off-road tires that doesnt go off-road. Thats the biggest contridiction I've ever seen.

Actually, according to their website (which I just checked out of boredom), they dont.

Just to make things easier for you, a 33' tire for 22's would be 205/70/r22 or 215/70/r22 (slightly larger).

To get height: [(1st#/25.4) * 2nd # as a percentage (so it would be .7)] * 2 + rim size (22)

or 205/25.4 = 8.07

8.07*.7 = 5.65

5.65*2 = 11.3

11.3+22 = 33.3 inch tires..... Isn't math fun

I have the mastercraft courser A/T2's and i love them, got a real nice rugged tread. I have 10K on them, hardly any wear, and theres no noticable road noise. I got my set for $750....but they were 265/75/16's im sure they 22's will be more expensive, but thats if they even make them that size.

I've always found it funny that tires for bigger sized rims are more expensive than their average rimsize counterparts... even though a bigger rim=less tire.

Math is good if you know how to use it.....and a 205 or 215 would never in its right mind fit on a 9.5" wide rim...thats if they even make that size tire. Like your math shows a 205 tire is about 8" wide, you cant stretch a tire that far out

The OP will be looking at something like a 285/45/22, or a 305/45/22

A link for Nitto tera 285/45/22($273)
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=285

A link for Nitto dune 285/45/22($265)
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=285

A link to dynapro 305/45/22($255)
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=305

Remember aggressive looking tires never last as long as a street tire

205s are awful skinny, regardless of rim width

still haven't really found any.. i found some nitto dune grapplers for $1000 but they are 305/40/22 i want something that is AT LEAST a 32 or 33.. it can even be a "non popular" tire.. like cooper or something.. what is your opinion on the dune grapplers though?

Only problems I see with them is that there reccomended for a 10" or wider rim, the next size up would work better.(305/45/22) It is reccomended for a 9.5" wide rim and will be a little taller at 32.72"

And dune grapplers look sweet with the flames but are not supposed to last as long as the terra grapplers
